Grid Vulnerability and Microgrid Solutions

“An electromagnetic (EM) attack (nuclear
electromagnetic pulse [EMP] or non-nuclear EMP [e.g., high-power microwave,
HPM]) has the potential to degrade or shut down portions of the electric power
grid important to the DoD….Restoring
the commercial grid from the still functioning regionsmay not be possible or
could take weeks or months.”* See the full DTRA-approved press release for the solution by IAN and collaborators.
